Compassionate, Professional and ALWAYS available

I hired Mr. Puig over a year ago to help me with my DWI, speeding and reckless driving charge. Due to the pandemic my court case kept getting postponed. He kept in constant contact with throughout. I was facing a substantial fine, loss of license, possible jail time and 3 years probation. Mr Puig ...got all the charges but the DWI removed. I was the one who took the plea. He was willing to keep fighting. He also was able to reduce my fines to the minimum, get my probation removed and keep me from my worst fear - going to jail. I would HIGHLY recommend

satisfied client

Attorney Kenneth Puigis services where outstanding. i was charged for dwi, the front weel on my car had fallen off. i called 911 for assistance. i was not drinking. i had 2 drinks 6 hours earlier at lunch time ( it was my birthday) i was not in the car when police arrived. police report was not accu...rate. i was very scared that there may be jail time involved. i contacted mr puigi after 1 st court appearance and met with him asap. he treated me as if i was his only case, upon our 1st meeting he explained the situation in la mans terms and consulted me on all the terms of the law. he put me in extreme relief. upon court appearance he got the case dropped to a lower charge with no criminal record. i strongly suggest that anyone who has any type of alcohol charge use mr puig'i. after the court appearance he followed up with guidance on getting my license back. his rates are like half the amount of other attorneys and his professionalism is awesome. i highly recommend his services .

If you need a really good lawyer, hire Kenneth Puig!!!!!!

I was arrested in 2016 and charged with 2 felonies, 3 misdemeanors, a traffic in fraction, and my car was impounded. Needless to say I was having a bad day. After a week in OCJ I was able to get a bail bond and started my search for a good lawyer because I was gonna need one. Ive had plenty of traffi...c court lawyers in my day due to my heavy foot but I've never needed a criminal defense lawyer before. Luckily I stumbled upon Kenneth Puig in my search. The consultation was quick and direct. Mr. Puig had informed me that do to my situation it wasn't going to be easy but if I did all the necessary requirements of the court he was confident in getting my charges reduced. Mr. Puig was very straight forward and basically said to me its up to me to shine and the brighter I do the better my chances are in a reduced sentence. Fast forward to 2018, my original charges would have given me 7yrs in prison and the state would've owned my car due to the forfeiture law. During the year and a half that passed Mr. Puig was in contact with me making sure I was doing well as well as making sure I was completing all the necessary programs and requirements the court ordered to even consider a lesser sentence. The difference I noticed with Mr. Puig was that he actually cares, he goes above and beyond to make sure your doing the right thing as opposed to the regular "ok this is what you gotta do ill see you on the next court date, good luck" that most lawyers do. He understands that you are his client and this is your life in his hands. After completing all my requirements successfully Mr. Puig felt really strong that he would be able to get my car back from the state and a sentence with no jail/prison time. A week before sentencing he called me to tell me some great news. He was completely confident I would get my felonies dropped to a misdemeanor and the other charges dropped all together as well as my car bask but Based on my performance of the court ordered requirements he wanted to see even better results. At sentencing he showed the judge how well I've done since our first meeting and how any charges could potentially hurt furthering my life. Mr. Puig's determination and persistence paid off, BIG TIME!! I was originally looking at felony charges, 7 years in prison, and my car becoming the states property. Mr. Puig was able to get all charges dismissed with a 6month ACD ( as long as I'm good for the next 6months all charges will be dropped) my arrest from this incident erased from background, and my car back with no fees. After 6months it will be like this incident had never happened. I highly recommend Kenneth Puig to anyone who needs a serious lawyer that is passionate about his clients and gets serious results.

"Stay Strong"!

The competence of Mr Puig was second to none. I am forever grateful for his dedication and diligence in handling my case. Mr Puig never faltered in any aspect of the proceedings and always stood his ground. For every denial he had a comeback. For each refusal he responded with a defense. The updates ...were constant and the advice crucial. He gave me the confidence and motivation that I would need to stand firm and to stay positive. I am so thankful that he never let me depart without a word of encouragement. Look no further. I, 110%, highly recommend Mr Puig. If I had to describe him with one word it would be, Perseverence - (to persist in anything undertaken; maintain a purpose in spite of difficulty, obstacles, and discouragement; continue steadfastly). I'll end this with the two words he always said to me, "Stay strong".
